I must apologize. Since I’ve been blogging, I’ve never taken a break quiet this long.

Here’s my little story of Fall 2015. I had an amazingly busy October with World Mastercard Fashion Week and a busy week of photo shoots, in the middle of all the chaos, I injured my knee. It felt like my fashion season, was closing in front of my eyes. I was stuck for the past 2 months with my knee in a-not-so-lovely-brace, and I’ve been well-embracing the normcore / athleisure trend. With weekly physiotherapy my knee has gotten stronger, though I’m still not quiet sure I’m in so much pain.

Ok, now back to what we are here for. Fashion. This fall I’ve been living in cozy cashmere, but more specifically turtlenecks. I’ve seem to have collected quite a few stunning knits that have been perfect for this mild fall season, and not to mention, there is nothing lovelier than turtleneck hair (when your hair is left inside of your turtleneck – giving you an instant messy bob).

Since dying my hair, almost 2 years ago, bright red, with the super talented Natalie of Image Makeover located on Queen St. W in Toronto, I’ve been rethinking how the colours of my clothing interacts with my hair. With unexpected hair colours being all the rage this summer, it is important to take a second look at your wardrobe to find those items that will make your hair makeover pop.

For fire red, my favourites are light sky blue and Kelly green. Here are some examples of how my hair pops when wearing these complementing shades: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

Do you have colourful hair? If so, what colours work best for you?
